Finding Fanny (2014)

Finding Fanny- 2014 Director: Homi AdajaniaOne needs Brains and Creativity to produce such films. The immensely talented director, Homi Adjania deserves the maximum credit for what he has delivered.Naseeruddin Shah- as Ferdie, the emotional affable post master is brilliant. Naseer underplays his character,he has modulated his voice and his body language to portray Ferdie and the outcome is just mind-blowing.Pankaj Kapur- who plays the eccentric lusty painter Don Pedro, he again proves his brilliance with this portrayal.Deepika Padukone- She proved that she have matured as an actress of top notch. She was fresh, her acting was unforced and she flowed throughout the movie like a star....there were many places where she will stole your heart..like while listening to Naseer from her Balcony.Dimple Kapadia- is very good too, dominating yet hesitantly finding her way through the challenges life has thrown at her.Arjun Kapoor- has probably the most uni-dimensional role and he does it credit. In acting chops, probably the one who has to go the furthest, but he can still hold his head high after this one.Finding Fanny is a simple anatomy of love. It is the best movie Bollywood has produced this year since QUEEN! Highly recommended

Agree or disagree, this movie is not great at all. I didn't watch it with great expectations but thought it would turn out to be a decent one as I've really liked the Director's previous 'Being Cyrus'. Casting is the only plus point I see in this movie. The plot doesn't have the grip to glue the viewer to the movie. Story is about searching for a person and the events are very flat and dull. Very boring I must say. Not complaining about not having the regular Bollywood ingredients but this movie could've been better. Narration style was not interesting. Felt like the mood of the movie was going off at places.Personally didn't like this movie at all.

Okay, Homi Adajania is back ! His first venture 'Being Cyrus' was at par with Hollywood standards; however, his next 'Cocktail' was equally disparaging. So, when I went for Finding Fanny, I did not know what to expect from this movie. And boy, what a movie it was !This movie is at par with directors like Alexander Payne and Alfonso Cuaron. In fact, half way through the movie, one might even forget that he is watching a bollywood movie. The cinematography, the direction, the background scores are breathtakingly beautiful. The ensemble cast of five, carry the movie amazingly well. The story, as in all road movies, is almost the same, five quirky characters set out on a road trip that will change their lives forever. The brilliance of any road movie is in that of the portrayal of the characters involved in it, and that being said, the real challenge of any road movie is in its characterization. That is where this movie stands out ! The performance by veterans like Dimple Kapadia, Naseeruddin Shah and Pankaj Kapoor is brilliant. However, in my opinion, it is Pankaj Kapoor who shines above all. He is the Indian equivalent of Paul Giamatti !Finding Fanny would give one the feel of watching a Wes Anderson or a Alexander Payne movie; and people who loves movies like 'Everything is Illuminated', 'Sideways', 'Little Miss Sunshine', or our Indian equivalent 'Road, movie' (The Abhay Deol starrer); would definitely love this one.
